My brother used to build and design kayaks for Perception. To answer your question, it depends on what type of kayaking you want to do. A longer kayak is best for open water with large swells, a shorter one is for rapids and small streams, but will also work for open water. We always used sit-ins with splash skirts. Learning to "right" yourself is not hard, just takes a little practice. We used to kayak here after a good rain, the rapids were great. Where we entered the water, acces was hard to get, so we worked out a sluice or trough (red clay) and would slide downhill in the kayak directly into/or under the water! hehehe, was always fun. Good luck and enjoy it!
